Love this bathroom makeover! The before and after of this DIY bathroom makeover is amazing! Two commercial hair salon bathrooms in just four days!
Russel and I have been thinking about venturing into doing work outside of our own home for a while now. So when the opportunity came up to transform a couple of local hair salon bathrooms we were so excited! This wasn't our first bathroom makeover, but tackling a commercial space outside of our home was a whole new challenge that we were excited to take on.

The bathroom we took on were in The Headroom - a local hair salon. The hair salon already had an amazing vibe throughout the salon, but the bathrooms were a bit of a blank slate.
White walls, white ceilings, concrete floors, and crates for shelves. There was so much opportunity in there to add some personality into the space!
This is the second bathroom we tackled (in the same four days!). It's almost an exact mirror image of the first bathroom, just a little bit smaller.
Bathroom Makeover Design Plans
Before we started the bathroom makeover, we presented the salon owner with a couple of different design ideas. I created two mood boards for her, and this is the one that she choose to move forward with.
This design featured tall board and batten with a deep charcoal paint colour. A couple of different wallpaper options, some wall art, and some gold and walnut wood accents to warm up the space.
Here are all of the sources for the design inspiration:
- Charcoal paint colour - Cracked Pepper by Behr
- Faces wallpaper
- Patterned wallpaper
- Walnut Hooks
- Faucet
- Mirror
- Wall Art
- (actual wall art we used)

How did you do the board and batten above the toilet? We are running into the same situation. I’m nervous about putting it above the toilet and closing it in.
Unfortunately we can’t go behind the toilet as it is a super tight spot.

We ended up bringing the boards down as far as we could - within an inch or two of the toilet tank cover. We wanted them just high enough that you could take the tank cover off easily. Honestly the stop above the toilet isn't really noticeable!

Sooo amazing! I think if I was using that bathroom I’d spend an extra 5 minutes in there just to admire it :) Great work

Love the bathroom! How is the floor holding up? We’ve decided to go with vinyl plank flooring and I still haven’t been able to find a color I love. I sent my boyfriend a picture of your bathroom saying I decided what I want, haha. He told me to message you in hopes I’d probably stop driving him crazy over flooring samples. Can you please share the brand used or any recommendations. I read you said the color was saddle, but I can’t seem to find anything that looks the same. Thank you!
